Sex & Nudity
-
- Marty mistakes a rectal thermometer, a birthday gift from Melman, for a regular one; Marty spits it out after realizing its purpose.
- Alex gets hit in the crotch a lot by various things throughout the movie, such as a woman hitting him there with her purse and a palm tree falling on him and hitting him there. Many of the times there is a painful response from Alex.
- Alex holds up underwear themed around him to sell to people at the zoo.
- Some people may find Gloria's belly and bottom suggestive.
- Gloria comes out of the ocean with star fish on her chest and a crab strategically placed over her crotch, strikes a pose, and tells the sea creatures, "Alrighty boys, fun's over."
- A lemur sings about women moving their bodies.
- Alex's steak dream is a reference to the R-rated film, American Beauty. But nothing inappropriate at all.
Violence & Gore
-
- during a scene where three of the protagonist's realize how deadly the wild is, we see a bird eaten by a carnivorous flower (the flower comically burps out it's feathers afterwards), a mouse is dragged offscreen by a snake, escapes only for a eagle to grab him and swoop off, and a duckling is swallowed by a crocodile.
- A human skeleton attached to a parachute hangs from a tree; a decrepit plane is nearby.
- Julian uses a human skeleton hand to point and make gestures.
- Many animal control officers, with their guns drawn and looking scared, surround several animals, and shoot a Alex in the buttock with a tranquilizer dart (Alex is shot on two different occasions).
- An old lady beats up Alex by hitting it on the head with her purse repeatedly, and also kicks it in the crotch.
- Gloria hits Alex with a large stick and keeps hitting him (she is trying to save Alex from a spider on Alex's back).
- A penguin knocks a man out with a strike to the neck, and a penguin hits a man in the face (the man is tied up and his mouth is taped).
- A hippopotamus hits a lion with a large stick and keeps hitting it (it's trying to save it from a spider on its back)
- Alex is hit in the face with a tree branch, it steps on a thorn, a tree falls on it and it's caught in a large spider web. It is also hit by a coconut and falls down a waterfall.
- Hungry Alex jumps and bites a zebra's backside (they're friends, but the lion is starving and hallucinating about steaks); we see the zebra later with a large Band-Aid on its backside.
- A penguin says that he and his fellow penguins killed some humans and "had eaten their livers" (he's kidding).
Profanity
-
- Skipper the penguin says "Hoover Dam" as a substitute for "damn"
- There is some very mild rude humour, with Marty making fart noises with his armpits, verbal references to throwing poo from the two monkeys, an scene where Melman has a toilet freshner on his mouth, some scenes where characters spit at each other and a scene with a venus flytrap belching.
- When Alex steps on a torn, he says "What the frick" which is to replace the f-word. However he barely utters it, so it makes it difficult to hear.
- The p on a "help" sign falls apart and spells "hell". That refers to the place.
- After Marty receives a rectal thermometer, not realizing its purpose, he puts it in his mouth. After finding out the real purpose, he shouts out a disgusted "MOTHER--!" Played for laughs.
- At one scene, when Marty runs away from Alex in slow motion, he shouts out: "Sugar Honey Iced Tea!". Take the first four letters of those four words and they spell "Shit". This will go over young children's heads.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Animals are having cocktails made out of seawater.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A duckling is eaten by a crocodile.
- in the crashed airplane there's a skeleton that the lemurs use as a tool, kind be unnerving.
- Without his staple of raw zoo meat, Alex starts seeing the others as fresh meat and then doesn't realize what he's doing when he bites Marty's butt. With his instincts in overdrive, he then chases after Marty (with the old National Geographic theme song playing on the soundtrack). This causes Alex to go insane and become depressed.
- Various hyena-like animals called fossa are after Marty who kicks one back, but the rest jump on him. Melman then does a Tarzan bit and rescues Marty, but they then slam into a rock wall (played for action comedy). The penguins then use a spinning object to send things flying out that hit the menacing animals.
